Make the enchilada sauce: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat until shimmering. Add the flour and whisk constantly for 1 minute, until the mixture turns a light golden color and smells nutty. Add the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, oregano, and salt, and whisk for 30 seconds until fragrant. Gradually pour in the chicken broth while whisking continuously, then stir in the tomato sauce. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5–7 minutes until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove from heat.
